Application led September 11, 1917. Serial No. 190,735.

To all whom may concern Be it known that I, HARRY A. TAYLOR, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ofManhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Glove, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are:to avoid damaging the border 0r finished facing about the wrist openingsof gloves; to secure the facing about said wrist openings wit-h anextensible means for fastening the edge of the facing to the glove; andto impart a neat and workinanlike appearance to a glove having thebinding facing for the wrist opening.

Drawings.

the edge and at the inner side of the glove, a binding or facing stripof material. The

material has or has not resembled in color and texture the body of theglove. The stitching employed for securing the facing or bindingmaterial rendered the material non-extensible. This has resulted instraining the glove structure in the endeavor to close the glove untilthe stitching has broken and the ends separated sulficiently to leave agap where the material has been parted. The raw edge of the binding whennot secured produces an unfinished appearance to the glove.

Gloves when constructed in accordance with the present invention areprovided with a binding strip 9, the outer edge of which is held by theusual line of stitching 10. The inner edge of the strip 9 is secured tothe body 11 of the glove by a row of hemstitching 12. The hemstitchingprovides a series of openings 13 formed by overcast stitches at thesides thereof in line with the direction of the stitching. This form ofstitching while securing the raw edge of the binding strip 9 yields tothe strain of the material parallel with the line of stitching and thusavoids the breaking away of the stitching and consequent loosening ofthe edge of the binding strip 9.

Ulaz'm.

A glove having a wrist opening, a binding strip for said glove at saidWrist opening, means embodying stitching for unitino' the outer edge ofsaid strip with the body of said glove, and open-centered hemstitchingfor uniting the inner edge of said strip with the body of said 7glove.
